A simple, straightforward ascent up a track, gaining about 210m, steepish in parts, especially near the top. There is parking for a few cars at the transmitter 1km SE of hill.

A track skirts this and ascends alongside a fence. ​On the ascent two gates/stiles allow you to cross the fence when necessary.

The steeper upper part of the trail can be slippery in poor conditions.
It shouldn’t take any longer than 25 minutes to reach the top.

The summit is well defined and marked by a small pile of rocks. The panoramic views of the western peninsula, Great Blasket and the rugged Tearaght Island (254m), are spectacular.

Tearaght is the most westerly island in Ireland. A big reward for little effort.
